Egon Spengler - Blog Posts

Real 😭

I am an afterlife and frozen empire enjoyer, but the botching of Egon’s character hurts me so much 😭😭

studio: “we wanted to honor this actor’s character since he passed….”

*proceeds to denigrate said character by making him a deadbeat dad, not with Janine, not happy, and dying alone*

me: “hmm, so how does any of that honor that actor’s character???”

aaaaaaaa these are so cool!!!! Adding all of these to my playlist now lol.

If you’re still doing the song thingy, here’s some ships

Peter x Dana

Egon x Peter

Winston x Ray

I'm always keen to song-post so absolutely!!

Peter / Dana.

A couple of slightly different vibes here as I find their relationship dynamic to be very interesting, a little turbulent, but otherwise very sound - it's cute

"Chick Habit" -> April March (fairly self-explanatory, being into someone who's a womaniser like Peter is presumably a little tough)

& "Angel" -> Black Pumas (this one is more traditionally romantic and enamoured, because under all his peacocking, there is a very deep affection for Dana on Peter's end)

Egon / Peter.

Interesting dynamic for certain, I've seen floating around a couple of times, and I like the playful, snarky component - as they're both very dry men.

"Spooky" -> Dusty Springfield (this is because they're Ghostbusters, and I like the vibe I'm afraid, but also Peter being a flirt rears it head again)

Winston / Ray.

I loveeee these two, especially if you're taking the modern films into account, which seem to suggest that their connection extends for decades and both appear to canonically lack partners (unlike Peter) - so hey, who's to say they stuck it out long term. But honestly, they have such a good dynamic. Winston is a fairly logical, steady person, and Ray is... very whimsical. But collectively, they work together so well - love their scenes in GBII.

"Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" -> She & Him. (A soppy one with a lot of endearment, couldn't help myself)

GAAAAA THE FULL COLOR SKETCHES ARE SO COOL

I was the one who recommended the Egon sketch on their insta since they were doing art requests, and seeing it colored is so cool!!! Augh I love them all sm

hai #busternation

FINALLY

Took me long enough but I got the Winston Pop! Turns out he never got shipped to the Hot topic where I live. Quite sad, but he’s here, thanks to my grandma. As soon as I said I was missing him from the collection, I could not argue and she went on a hunt for me. I love her sm.

And here they are all together!!! I’m so happyyyy :)))

Once again, Peter is just like me frfr (although when I drink too much I get jittery so that’s fun)

More Real Ghostbusters headcanons! Coffee edition

EGON - Drinks a ton of it oh my god - WAY too much cream and sugar though ew - Only one who's ever been able to figure out how to make his coffee is Peter (who hates it)

PETER - Also a caffeine addict - Drinks it strong, with maybe half and half but never anything super sweet - No one makes his coffee for him he is finnicky

WINSTON - Only normal coffee drinker - Drinks a normal amount - Normal amounts of creamer - Doesn't have to worry about anyone making his coffee because he's usually the first up

RAY - Drinks coffee only in the mornings - Straight black coffee - Doesn't have to worry about anyone making his because all they have to do is pour into a mug

JANINE - Pretty much the same as Winston - Iced coffee drinker for sure - Loves flavored creamers (Especially caramel)

Here’s what they look like out of the boxes+with the proton streams btw!! You can switch them out since they’re removable [so they can fit in the pop boxes lmao]

Forgot to post this last week

They’re here!!!!!! (The blob is crossed out potentially personal info like names and addresses so they’re crossed out)

Originally I only ordered Ray and Peter online at Boxlunch, and when I went to pick them up, I saw they had Egon at hot topic! For some reason Winston’s not there yet- either sold out or shipping issues, but when I know he’s in I’ll be buying him to complete the set!!

(Also, bonus info, the proton streams are removable!! You can switch them out between the guys if you so please :])

RAAAAAAAA THEYRE SO CUTEEEE

got bored, drew the ghostbusters as kids 

Due to popular demand, here are some of my personal Ghostbusters headcanons! Using the prompts that I had from my original posts lol. Most of these talk about Ray and Peter, but I’ll eventually talk about the other guys too :)

just a reminder that these are MY OWN personal headcanons, and if you don’t like them then you’re free to ignore them and move on. If you use my headcanons, please credit me! Also, if I get anything wrong about mental health here, please let me know so I can fix it! I’m still in progress of getting an official diagnosis for myself, so if I get the symptoms of depression and anxiety wrong, tell me! I do not want to accidentally stereotype, and/or misinterpret mental health.

Family-

Peter’s family is of confusing origin. His father, Jim Venkman (yes I’m using the canon name, but perhaps one of Peter’s relatives was named Charlie, and thats why Peter has the middle name Charles) was born in America by parents of mostly unknown origin, and his mother is Italian. (I gave her the name Beatrice, with her former last name being Lorenzo. If you use it please credit me) She moved to the Americas and eventually met Jim. The two inevitably fell in love and had a kid, Peter. Unfortunately Beatrice died when he was young, causing Jim to be distant, throwing himself into work. It is unknown whether or not Peter has any other relatives out there- in some of my writing it’s implied he has a sister, and maybe another relative..? But that’s for another time- but his family situation definitely influenced the way his personality is, being dodgy with personal questions and being a bit of a little shit to mask the loneliness that still lingers in his heart from being ignored so much. I’d imagine Ray not talking about his family or childhood memories too much, but when he does, it’s usually standard stuff. Roasting marshmallows at summer camp, learning to ride a bike, the typical happy childhood. This leads most to assume that he had a pretty good childhood. The truth is, the memories he share aren’t really painting the full picture. He was happy as a young kid, yes. But it’s mostly because he was simply blind to the truth when he was little. In my headcanon, his mother wasn’t the greatest person in the world. Perhaps even cheated on his father. The family was lower income, [I’d imagine the only reason Ray got into Columbia university was pure chance, a science fair or some other scholarship that got him off the ground and to a better school but idk yet.] and his mother just used it irresponsibly. Was it gambling? Was it alcohol? Nobody knows. But he had no clue. To his child self, he didn’t seem to understand why his mom constantly ignored him and his [possible] siblings. His father, like Peter’s, worked a lot to pick up the pieces and inevitably divorced his wife- and for good reason. Now as an adult, he’s trying to make up for the years of love lost, which is why he’s so close and affectionate with a lot of his friends. He wants to give them what he was missing, even if he constantly denies it.

Curse-

This is more of a metaphorical sense, but in a planned comic there IS an actual curse that sticks around in the Venkman family, which causes problems. (If you wanna know, please ask :D)

The Venkman family has an issue with keeping the ones they love around, whether that be romantic or platonic. Somehow people keep disappearing and/or leaving them, and it usually results in putting up walls and ignoring the ones who really do love them, out of fear of being hurt. The Stantz family usually has a pattern of mental health issues being passed down. Ray’s mother was most likely depressed, leading to her ignoring him a ton. (This isn’t saying that her depression is the thing that made her a horrible person. What made her a horrible person was the cheating, lying, and misuse of money that was meant to go into feeding her family. Her mental health isn’t what made her horrible. It was her actions. She used her depression as more of a shield to shift the blame.) Ray most likely has depression and/or anxiety too- implied in some of his dialogue in the starting cutscene of spirits unleashed. (The dialogue saying that some days he couldn’t find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning, wondering why it was worth it to try.) He most likely feared becoming a parent, worrying that his own mental health will be tanked and he’ll ignore the poor child, just like his mother did with him. He puts on a happy face for the public and his friends, always acting energetic and happy, but the scars still linger, which is possibly why he smoked a lot. Stress relief.

Parallels-

You probably caught on already, but both Peter and Ray have HEAVY parallels here. They were both Mama’s boys growing up. Both were quite young when their mother figures disappeared on them- figuratively or literally- and their fathers were distant. Their personalities came from defense mechanisms, trying to either make up for the years lost or protect themselves from further heartbreak and harm. They stick with their friends because they don’t know where else to go, because there’s always a lingering fear of judgement. The fear of commitment, the uncertainty of having a kid but being super protective of any child in danger, like Oscar.

The two bonded over this. It’s how they first met. They sought each other out. It’s also how they probably met Egon too. Another man damaged by his childhood, just attempting to be normal in this world.

And of course, when their mental health finally starts getting better- when things are looking brighter for all of them…

Egon leaves.

(Bro this is incredibly depressing wtffffff- please feel free to add on and/or analyze my yapping, and I hope y’all enjoyed my first official personal headcanon post!!)

Reblogging for this, thanks moot. That makes me feel better. I do like the headcanons, I just never wanna make assumptions or hurt anybody’s feelings. I’m glad you and others in this fanbase are here to help give a little clarity to myself and others, since I don’t have enough research yet.

Answering this ask bc I accidentally deleted it from my inbox-

One anon asked if I had any autistic headcanons, and to that I say yes. Sort of. I do know and accept the headcanons that other people have about Egon and/or Ray having autism. (And a lot of other characters too!) However, since I am undiagnosed and haven’t researched much, I don’t want to accidentally stereotype it or offend someone when I write, which is why it probably won’t be officially stated in my writing or headcanons, due to my lack of proper knowledge and not wishing to offend anyone. Thanks for the ask, random anon- hope that this clears it up and I hope you have a nice day :) (and sorry I lost your ask! Complete misinput.)

:O that’s really cool!! Maybe Vigo could be king, and Gozer could be queen? Perhaps Dana is like Noelle, and Louis could be Berdly?

this is a really fun and creative idea :DD

Ghostbusters x Deltarune thing

Monster's don't exist in this au everyone is human Peter, Egon, Ray, Winston = Fun Gang A dark fountain opens up in the ghostbuster's firehouse pretty much Main 4's dark world outfits will be based off their RGB appearances Haven't thought of any darkners

RAAAAA THATS ADORABLE WAAAAAAA

I LOVE THEMMMM

|| little fun comic redraw, because I love thier designs, comic panel is below! ||

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

|| yeah that's right two drawings today, hope you enjoy ||

Ooh, seasonal headcanons my beloved. I’d imagine them loving the guys to bits! I have a lot of personal headcanons with Ray’s family (which unfortunately get a little depressing, I’ll probably elaborate more soon if you guys want to hear them), but I’d imagine most of them love the guys and welcome them with open arms to any family event. For the gifts the OG four guys (and janine) get one another, it would probably not be big things, but rather smaller, more personal and meaningful stuff. Things relating to their group inside jokes, books they’ve been eying, snacks they enjoy. The little things that feel more meaningful. And of course they’d spend time with each other, sharing their own family holiday traditions and recipes. Overall, the guys are like family to one another and it shows, making for sweet, wholesome holidays.

As for my one word personal headcanon prompts, there are now three! “Curse,” “Family,” and “Parallels” ! They all associate with Peter and Ray specifically. If you guys want to know, speak up- be warned they’re kinda angsty

Hey moots how would you guys feel about me posting my general Ghostbusters headcanons here?

As well as some more projection ones/my own AUs I’ve made…

So THAT’S who made this adorable artwork! It’s great :))

💖👻 Finally got around to drawing the boys! 👻💖

This. This is beautiful.

build a bears i think the ghostbusters would have :)

this is an idea i’ve had for a while and finally got around to it heheh

peter venkman; timeless teddy

when i think of peter, i think of classic teddy bear. he’s not really a stuffed animal guy, but either the guys convinced him to go, or it was a gift from dana. either way, it sits on his bedside table :)

ray stantz; longhorn

are u kidding. LOOK AT THIS GUY. he literally has a stuffie of his favorite superhero dog. look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn’t be DELIGHTED to receive this cow.

egon spengler; hoppy swirls frog

the perfect harmony of the cool colors rlly screams egon to me idk. plus frogs are COOL AF and i think he would agree.

winston zeddemore; red raptor

winston REEALLLY strikes me as a dinosaur guy idk why!!! but i rlly feel like he would have this one. plus this one is adorable idc what anyone says. dino’s for the win

janine melnitz; pawlette

she’s cute, she’s classy, she’s a girlboss and we love it. also her fur is very soft and that would come in very handy for our favorite secretary, who is probably stressed from all the phone calls.

Thought this would be funny so

The Ghostbusters but their middle names are the things that have happened to them in my sims 4 playthrough Egon “the grilled cheese incident” Spengler Raymond “scared of water” Stantz Winston “the only sane one” Zeddemore Peter “woohoo the grim reaper” Venkman

Context is gone here, so have fun trying to decipher what on god’s green earth happened to these freaks /pos

They’re so CUTEEEEEE

honestly I love the scene art style sm it’s so cool

Ghostbusters in Scene Style X3

(I gotta color the others lol)

I was waiting for the inevitable day a ghostbusters fan drew this- it’s amazing Lmao

Recent TRG shitpost art

Real and canon I don’t make the rules :)

Egon (holding up a needle and syringe he found): Are you doing drugs? Peter: Doing your mom. Egon:... Peter: ... Peter: No, its for testosterone.

Since I’ve ranted about my OC Edward a lot here, I feel like I should explain how he would be if he was in the RGB cartoon!

I’m gonna yap so heads up lmao

First fact- Since Egon was made a blonde in the toon, I switched Edward to a brunette (even though he’s blonde in the main universe). Hair color switching is fun, and it also keeps his color palate from being too overwhelming! (This helps with Elizabeth too, since they’re siblings who are meant to look very much alike. Perhaps in one “Episode concept” they would attempt to switch identities and see who has the harder job.) Second- He has a tooth gap now. Just cause. I felt like it would be cute. It adds uniqueness for his expressions too. He also blushes a lot easier, for the sake of it being a toon.

Third- Since the toon seems to exaggerate/change their personalities a little, I made it so Edward’s anxiousness (and crushing on Egon if we’re gonna step into shipping territory) are heightened up to eleven. In the movie universe he’s a little anxious, sure (in the first movie he’s slightly anxious but relatively cheery and willing to help [think kind of like Louis, but not exactly], in the second movie he’s a lot more cynical and anxious due to going to law school and having to deal with the Ghostbusters again after five years [and the amount of trouble they get into]) but the toon would take it up a notch for the sake of comedy and plot. Fourth-He probably gets along with Peter just a little bit more? Due to the toon toning down Peter’s cynicism it makes for a different bond, other than the movie universe where Edward’s constantly at his throat for something stupid (for example, calling him “Eddie” and “Ed.”) In the toon world Edward would still be annoyed with him, but their bond is probably a lot closer than the movie universe. (Especially considering how long it would take for Edward and Peter to get along in it. They do care a lot, it just hides behind a TON of insults and banter. And unfortunately I’d imagine them leaving on pretty bad terms due to Edward leaving to the middle of nowhere [Summerville] without an explantation or leaving a note.)

Fifth-His cat, Kevin, would most likely be a reoccurring background character! Like Slimer, he probably runs around the firehouse and does his own stuff, he probably gets along with Slimer and that pisses Peter off.

Sixth-He would totally take the role of being a Ghostbuster at least once, like how Janine and Louis did. It was most likely because one was out sick/hurt and it causes a lot of chaos for Edward and his anxiety, as he volunteered without thinking to impress Egon. The “episode” idea I had was that Peter somehow got hurt and that resulted in him being unable to fight the ghosts, so Edward takes his place for the day. There’s a B plot of Peter having to do Edward’s “boring secretary work” with Janine, and by the end Edward gets his own Ghostbusters nametag (and maybe a kiss but idk) and the reassurance he did good. Just a wholesome little ending.

WOWWW THATS A LOT OF YAPPING (and I haven’t even STARTED on explaining what his role would be in the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon..)

Uhm

hope you guys liked it? I know some of you seem to like my ocs and their story so I’m so glad to share it all with you! Thanks for all the support :))
